he first step in a flood forecasting system is to identify whether a river is expected to flood. Hydrologic models (or gauge-to-gauge models) have long been used by governments and disaster management agencies to improve the accuracy and extend the lead time of their forecasts. These models receive inputs like precipitation or upstream gauge measurements of water level (i.e., the absolute elevation of the water above sea level) and output a forecast for the water level (or discharge) in the river at some time in the future.
